    Most other university/college campuses are for students only. I know that is the case with Trinity Halls and Belfield. They are usually overbooked

    is that so...

    griffith seems to be the only place available in terms or non student campus

    I was looking for somewhere student based so I can meet new people

    I'd probably be better off going finding an apartment idk

    I know your looking for student accomadation but if this is your first year I would recommend doing a student house share in Rathmines/Camden St/Ranelagh/Harolds Cross type area.

    the thing about student residences is that they are normally really strict about parties and guests and what not!

    I lived in student residences for my first two years and it was good to have the security it was a bit of a pain how the whole system functioned- the RA's were kind of like parents and god forbid you have to share with a postgrad student!!

    You'll meet people in college anyway or join socities if your in a giant course. The most popular people are always the ones who can invite you over to their gaff no matter what time of the day or night. I recommend those areas if you are going to college in the city centre obviously!

    they are also great because you never have to get a taxi if you are broke! You can spend your money on some curry chips in the Aprille to warm the walk home! :p

    I have nothing to do with DIT nor with its accommodations. I thought you were looking for suggestions and gave you one. How come you don't accuse other replies of having vested interests?

    A friend of mine lived there last year (as a 1st year in TCD) and liked it so much that she's going back. They're not very strict - she had no problems with security when they had parties, especially at the end of the year. Can't argue with the location either.

    Stayed there last year, its a mix of students from all the dublin colleges, you don't have to be in NCI to live there.

    Its in a great location, in the IFSC. Red line luas stop right outside it. tons of shops and supermarkets around. 10 min walk to a Dart, trinity. 10 min walk to O'Connel street. You'll never spend money on a taxi on nights out!

    First years are all put together so its a good way of meeting people!
